lobbying to hot wire or hack the way the system operates. >> head to cnnmoney.com for the revealing sit down with al gore. stay tuned for your moneys for the very latest for the countdown to shutdown. it looks like we have some very lagt nights in store. >> these stories are topping our news this hour. it's down to the wire, in less than two days, the government could run out of money. we'll tell you why prospects of overting a shutdown are dimmer than ever. and what the house is about to do. just how dangerous is youring your cell phone while flying? an american daredevil rockets through the sky in one of the world's most unique locations.

congress might be a little quieter today than you may expect, especially since it's only 30 hours away from a government shut dourn. the senate is not going to be voting today that the house voted on just after midnight. weighting after midnight is an act of arrogance. right now, house republicans are rallying calling for the senate to act. but the house plan doesn't have much hope in the senate anyway, that's because of two amend. s. one would delay obama care for a year and the other would repeal a medical devices tax. so just over one day left. the deadline is midnight on monday. and we are covering all of the angles of this story, starting with breanna keeler who is live at the white house. let's go ahead and start with breanna. this all has boiled down to a big blame game at this point, habilitate it?

i mean, what response are we hearing today from the white house and lawmakers. >> well, the white house says, allison, that congress should just pass a bill to fund the government and overt a government show down. they don't want house republicans messing with obama care. and we've heard this from president obama, they will negotiate on budget issue, taxes or spending or entitlement reforms, budgetary issues. but they don't want house republicans trying to make these big changes to the president's signature health care reform law. no now, to hear some republicans say it, we've actually budged on this. >> republicans and democrats are supposed to find a middle ground. but right now, it's the

president saying my way or the highway. if i don't get everything i want, the democrats are saying they're willing to shut down the government. >> now, president obama has said that he welcomes it if republicans want to improve the law, if they can make some mutually agreed upon changes, but no one really expected that to be done separate or related to this bill. abld, you know, president obama says this is a legitimate bill. that congress passed it, the supreme court upheld it. and the message from white house officials is just that repu republicans need to move on. there's really no ind kagsz that's happening. and the senlsz is that the likelihood of a government shutdown, that it is pretty likely. wi' we're looking at the clock ticks because that would take place tomorrow night into tuesday morning. >> there is a lot of kicking and screaming, but we're happy about our plan. congresswoman michelle bachman

says we're very excited. erin, you talked to one senator who's also pushing really hard to defund obama care. what did he tell you? >> allison, that was ted cruz, the texas republican. he has been leading the charge in the senate. he was one who wanted to defund obama care completely. as breanna started to budge a little bit with the delay. here's what ted cruz had to tell me this morning. >> the house has passed a one-year delay. is that good enough for you or do you want to kill it? >> i think it is a strong step in the right direction. we get to study the exact terms on how that delay will operate. would i support anything that m mitigates the harms. >> how likely is it that do you think for a short time the government may shut down this week. >> you know, i don't know. i hope it doesn't. i don't think we should have a government shut down. and the only reason we might is

if harry reid continues to refuse to compromise. to refuse everyone to talk. if harry reid draws the line and says he will shut down the federal government rather than treat the american families with the same exceptions that have already been given to big business and members of congress. >> now, allison, we have under today, from a senate democratic leadership aid, that is there is not a lot for ted cruz to stand in the way of the next senate vote that will occur tomorrow. it will be just one simple vote. and the democrats just need a 5 1 vote majority to strip out the amendments and send the bill wac to the house. so we will be very much in the same place tomorrow. but as we heard the second ranking democrat in the senate, some of them do very much expect a government shutdown to happen. allison? >> all right.

and we'll be watching every move. now, if there is a shutdown, here is what would happen. thousands would be furloughed, although congress would get paid. essential stafl like the mim tear, f.b.i. and air traffic control would stay on duty, but paychecks can be delayed. if you're planning to take a vacation to national park, forget it. they're going to be closed. passports and government loans won't be issued. there are some things that will not be affected. that includes medicare and medicaid and you'll still get your mail delivered. you can find out more at cnn pntd pn pntd.com/heal pntd.com/healthcare. >> a church deacon is charged with murder. it happened in lake chaurms, louisiana. about 130 miles from baton rouge. doug feric has more.

>> they've clearly come out in dasmascus. i think you'll see a lot of that noise reiterated tomorrow. >> israeli leader certainly made headlines. when he took out that drawing of a bomb with a redline representing the point where israel would no longer tolerate iran's nuclear ambition. this past week, iran agreed to talk about its nuclear program. should we expect to -- are we going to see an equally passionate speech? >> he's already been clear that he's coming here to tell the truth, despite all the smiles. and then that phone call between the two, a huge change in the

tone of the nature of their relations. but so far, we've seen nothing concrete. we've seen they wouldn't give up their right to enrich. >> we have to enrich negotiations around the table to discuss various aspects of iran's enrichmented program. a right to enrich is nonnegotiable. >> now, those cynics who think iran is buying time with all of these fresh-faced negotiation desire will seize upon that. barack obama is ok with iraq having access to nuclear technology. >> the status of how well-enriched it's going to be. both sides looking for concrete steps and i'm sure they will be

. a government shutdown looking more and more likely, december piet the fact the house had passed a plan that keeps the government open. but the problem is that it attaches delaying obama care to that measure. so, yeah, the battle is getting ugly day by day, hour by hour. i want to show you something that happened on the house floor last night when a democrat tried to speak against the. i want to know why the government is shutting down the government. mr. speaker of the house is not in order. >> the house shall come to order. the gentle lady deserves to be heard. >> ron brownstein, the director

of the national journal, has it really come to this? boos on the house floor when a member is speaking? >> well, compared to you lie, it's relatively tame. we are seeing steadily the confrontation between the parties escalate. any kind of traditional, historic, convention is being torn part. this government shutdown, as dramatic as it is, may be the second most porntd confrontation we're heading toward. in the mid lt of the month, the possibility of the u.s. falling on its debt. so just an extraordinary level of con flikt. >> yeah, maybe they're getting all revved up for what's coming in a couple of weeks. we hope not, but you never know. so the speaker actually issued a statement saying if the senate

stalls until monday afternoon instead of working today, stld be an act of breathtaking arrogance by the senate democratic leadership. what do you make of the actions? is he running the house? or is it just speaker in name only. >> well, right now, house leadership feels something like a contradiction in term. woe e we've seen the extraordinary set of events. the president won 332 electoral college votes, 50% of the vote, the speaker went out and said the election changes things. the obama care is the law of the land. and, in essence, he was signaling it was time to move on and the republicans had any time of approving this, i believe deep down he fundamentally believes that. >> last week, he saw the

extraordinary senator ted cruz that the speaker extense ichly wanted the kau cucaucus to foll. >> so you look at what's been happening the last time. republica republicans, they got blamed. do they not get it that a shutdown might not be a good idea? or is it that they hate the president's health care law that much that they don't care about shutting down the government. >> well, there's a viert of things. sfir first of all, the last shutdown was, in political terms, ionsa ago, there's no question there was a turning point in the presidency of bill clinton. he went ahead of him during the shutdown and never trailed again. but the republicans did not lose the house, even though they lost seats. there's a certain inexstrablety towards is this. they've within heading well over as the republicans won the

house. they are very hostile to president obama. and this is something they want today do. they have wrach eted up this competition. >> we're going to be seeing this again, possibly defaulting on the federal debt for the first time in history. >>. >> i think that's designed to make the shutdown less own rus and easier to sustain. what they've done there is take the idea of the shutdown. >> they will increase their leverage and make a concession. the sentiment would be not to include that.

the pressure of the house republicans to back down. but it may be that that idea is so attractive, as senator tim cane said, the democrats may have to ak september it. democrats blooech that repeliev republicans will be blamed. while the president would have the adds vantage, not necessarily an overwhelming one if the government shuts down. >> cnn's cross fire is going to have the latest on the possible government shutdown and the fight over the president's health care fannings. tune in tonight at 7:30 eastern for special coverage. there are a lot of people trying to figure out how obama care will affect them. we're finding out what they're doing to get ready. this is for you.
